        I am indebted to <a href="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~rs/" target="_top">Robert Sedgewick's
        "Algorithms in C++"</a> for forcing me to think about algorithms
        and their performance, and to the folks at boost for forcing me to think,
        period.

        <a href="http://www.boost-consulting.com/" target="_top">Eric Niebler</a>, author
        of Boost.Expressive and the <a href="http://research.microsoft.com/projects/greta" target="_top">GRETA
        regular expression component</a>, has shared several important ideas,
        in a series of long discussions.

        are...) then please do get in touch.

<p>
        I am also grateful to the manuals supplied with the Henry Spencer, PCRE,
        Perl and GNU regular expression libraries - wherever possible I have tried
        to maintain compatibility with these libraries and with the POSIX standard
        - the code however is entirely my own, including any bugs! I can absolutely
        guarantee that I will not fix any bugs I don't know about, so if you have
        any comments or spot any bugs, please get in touch.
      </p>
